Completed in 1929, the building rises 236 feet (72 m) and 18 stories.[2] Upon its completion, the Merchants National Bank Building became the tallest building in Mobile, the seventh-tallest building in the state of Alabama, and the tallest skyscraper in the state outside Birmingham. The building remained the tallest in the city until the completion of the RSA–BankTrust Building in 1965.[1] The Merchants National Bank Building now stands as the 6th-tallest building in Mobile.
